Please witness why it’s always nice to get some experience in life before you leave the Little League and become a “strategist”, Mmm-Kay? And always remember, the one who screetches using the highest octaves always wins by sheer head explosion, even without the nervous laughs.
Flavia, here’s your head on a plate. Study. Learn.
One thing I do think Flavia is accidentally right about. McGovern is very significant. But not for the reason she thinks. Of course, how would she know that considering she probably doesn’t know squat about McGovern. McGovern sees himself in Barack Obama and wants to try to at least minimize the November slaughter.

Hi Uppity.
Was anyone surprised by McGovern?
And does anyone care? When McGovern made his “oops” statement about it being harder to get a woman elected than a man, wasn’t it obvious he was an Obama plant?
piss-shaw McGovern… Now everybody just has more fodder for cartoons. I guess on behalf of cartoonists everywhere, I shoud thank you. But I just can’t thank offal for being offal. By the way, as I’m sure you know, McGovern was the asshole that gave us much of the shit system we use to elect our nominee. Douchebag– of course you’d be an Obamanation.
Senator Clinton “tearing down the presumptive nominee”? Really? Isn’t that what Senator Obama has been trying to do with the race card?
This young woman is pitiful.
Just gave Senator Clinton more money.

Thanks for the great video. Who’d have thought that the Obamaphiles would make Fox look like the sane ones?
Cavuto calmly made several rational arguments while Flavia foamed at the mouth. Gawd I can’t stand these people.

Thanks Uppity, I missed this exchange. Kudos to Neil Cavuto. How did this dimwit get a job, anyway. Yech, she’s annoying.
Is it just me or did she act and sound just a bit like Ms Coultergeist?
I don’t know Bob. To me she sounded like some post-adolescent fighting with her boyfriend. The only thing that was missing was the chewing gum.
Good eye for irony, as ever, uppity. Could go for a bumper sticker about how much McGovern and Obama have in common?
Also had not heard mcg.slip saying ‘harder for a woman’ Another sexist leftist, guess that’s no surprise by now.
Thanks for the video- it reminds us all to keep up the SuperDelegate fight on the basis of obama camp’s absolute LACK OF LOGIC in their argument for the nomination, at this point.
See them as spoiled brats, all, screaming and harassing: Give me what I want and give it to me right now!
Call me an optimist, but if we can just keep up the press against their idol and stand up to Super Delegates with the idiocy and ill effects of their argument, there is still a chance.
Yes, I believe in miracles, but democracy itself is a kind of miracle, and what they do ain’t it.
I’m continuing calls for Hillary in remaining states. Hope others do same, to support driving the message to SuperDelegates. Also gave $ again yesterday at hillaryclinton.com. Best ways I know to THANK HILLARY for standing up for us so selflessly (even when robots like Flavia call it selfish – typical obamaniea to say exactly the opposite of what is true.
Asking that others continue to show Hillary how strongly we feel, putting our efforts behind our words.
Oy, Flavia is one annoying empty-headed little O-bot. She should stick to preaching to the choir. It’s amusing to see how fast her precious little talking points were flamed like an overcooked marshmallow. I’m no fan of Neal’s, but I enjoyed watching him excoriate little Flavia.

I just sent the following email to Howard Dean (howarddean@dnc.org):
Chairman Dean,
I am a 56 year old white woman, one of the demographics the Democratic Party seems not to care about. However, I truly hope you pay attention to what I am about to write:
The next time I hear anyone from the Democratic Party (and that includes, but is not limited to, you, Donna Brazile, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, George McGovern, and Jimmy Carter) call for Senator Hillary Clinton to leave the race before all of the voters have had a chance to be heard, I will commit to not only NOT voting for Senator Barack Obama, but I WILL cast my vote for Senator John McCain in the General Election.
While you may choose to bury your head in the sand on this issue, there is a movement underway in this country, and it is not the “Obama Movement”. It is a movement formed by the forgotten of the Democratic Party, and it includes millions (yes, I said millions) of the women you don’t seem to care about. We are creating an army of voters who will cast our votes for John McCain in the General Election. Are you hearing this?
In 1988, Jesse Jackson went all the way to the convention. No one called for him to drop out.
In 1980, Ted Kennedy went all the way to the convention with a deficit of 979 delegates. No one called for him to drop out.
In 1976, Ronald Reagan contested the “inevitability” of Gerald Ford all the way to the convention. No one called for him to drop out.
In 1960, Lyndon Johnson and Adlai Stevenson fought the “certain” nomination of John F. Kennedy all the way to the convention floor. No one called for either of those gentlemen to drop out.
Yet, you are all calling for her, Senator Clinton, to drop out. Are you seeing a pattern here? Women across the country are, and we are not happy about it.
I hope to hear you say, loudly and clearly and very soon, that the calls for Senator Clinton to drop out must stop; that the voters (ALL the voters) must be heard; that the Democratic Party is strong enough to go all the way to the convention to choose their nominee because that is what the Democratic Party stands for – DEMOCRACY.
If you don’t put a stop to the overt sexism, misogyny, and Obama-worship, John McCain will be the next President of the United States. And the Democratic Party will be to blame.
Do you hear me?
Most sincerely,
Uppity, here’s the link that gives the summary:
http://baarswestside.blogspot.com/2008/05/my-days-in-office-very-good-or-very-bad.html
a chicago blog which hopes for the worst – which is possible. To sum it up:
Rezko trial about to wrap up. if he is convicted, it’s hoped he will turn states evidence to indict others.
Prosecutor Fitzgerald (same who brought down Liddy in DC) couldn’t be better. Real white knight who brings out & down political corruption.
GOV of IL has had much Rezko $ like obama. Not indicted in Rezko trial but basically politically ruined in a state where he had, previously, a great reputation.
IF outcome of Rezko trial leads to indictment of GOV, then best case, Obama could ultimately be indicted also. Or at least, it should have press and public pressure basis on Super Delegates that McCaine would kill obama with exposure of his in-depth connection to IL political corruption which backed his IL Senate campaign – and how Rezko & Mid East backers financed his start in politics should come back into play in MSM.
That’s the brief of a very long story. Only reason this has not had more national media coverage is because the case is so complicated and hard to follow.
Bear in mind, reason Rezko was NOT granted bail was because of the secret $$$$ Mid East funding behind him. When last known, Rezko was under ‘house arrest’ in his Chgo suburb mansion and claimed to be broke because trial caused his BIG IRAQ contract to be put off. He said he was being supported (by unknown sources) to the tune of $7k+ basic living expenses per month, during the trial.
It should be noted that earlier on in the campaign, obama was frequently flying back to Chgo on weekends, with no press coverage on any of that! Safe, clear bet he and Axelrod were working on Rezko damage control. No coincidence their political pressure put off start date of trial 1 week until after the next primary.
That’s when, among other things, obama buckled to local press, with a Sun Times interview (his arch enemy Rezko watch press). Told the Times, he was wrong about prior figures on campaign $ he got from Rezko. Upped the $ figure he admitted to by 3 x over what he originally said (am sure there is MUCH more). Also admitted his doing the mansion deal after Rezko was indicted was “boneheaded”. Much more here…
Other links show that obama did not pay 2005 property taxes (big $ figure) BUT somebody did?! Also should remember that Auchi sent Rezko $3.5 million just before obama mysteriously completed purchase of his $1.6 million mansion home – of which at least a $300K down payment (or possibly full cash purchase/different versions on this) came out of nowhere, ie Auchi.
Watching Rezko now at rezkowatch for further developments. Let’s look for a FIRESTORM.
That’s what this is to Barky and his little drones “TALKING POINTS”. Once you show them that they are wrong with a bit of logic, they don’t know how to react. It always come back to ummm its Hillarys fault she’s destroying the party.
Well the party is about to end for Barky so take you last drink from the keg and go home to you parents basement.
Very gutsy Mystic! Congratulations! You have just done one of the most IMPORTANT tasks I can think of when it comes to Coward Dean et al.
Thanks Unity! Got it!
Interesting the way she changed the subject when Cavuto pointed out Senator Obama did not have the math either.
Exceptional diary. Geez… and people want to talk about being shrill. This lady takes the cake. Or maybe the chopped liver.
I especially thought it was interesting that she thought it was ok if Hillary allowed Kentucky and other voters to speak. Gosh, a nice Obama supporter giving her permission and all.
I’ve spent a whole month wasting my time on the blogs at the Houston Chronicle (chron.Commons) trying to show (with evidence) how Obama is not an “agent of change” and a political player as usual. Every time I asked an Obama supporer to refute any of my points…complete silence. The FOX news guy brought up one of my key points–if SDs are all about the popular vote, why is Kennedy and Kerry “allowed” to vote for Obama when MA went overwhelmingly for Clinton?! I was a county delegate (SD13) for Clinton here in Houston, Texas and when Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee came to the floor–she was verbally attacked. I (and the other Clinton delegates )stood up and gave her a standing ovation while people screamed at us to sit down. It was a fiasco. Her constituents overwhelmingly voted for Obama and she is still a Clinton SD. They use this “popular vote” argument when it is convenient (the robot on the Fox News could not even answer). Not one person on Obama’s side could defend my argument of Kerry/Kennedy vs. SJL. All they could say was my issue involves two different states….(HUH???). I keep waiting for a response to my myriad of questions, but I’ve finally come to the realization that I will not get answer because they do not have one. This clip on Fox News is a perfect example of what I have been trying to prove.
So here’s what scares me – that Fox has become the most “fair and balanced” when it comes to Clinton. I really feel like I am in Upside Down World now, but they have been pretty good. Just last night, I flipped over during a ball game, and Greta Van Susteren was on, talking abt FL and MI! She kept asking how in the world Obama thought he could disenfranchise two MAJOR states without repercussions?! Good question – I’d like to know that, too!
Thanks for the video – it really does highlight the lack of analytic thought by the Obama surrogates (and really – WHAT negative ads has Clinton run? The ones where she points out his attacks on her are baseless?? How DARE she not cave to his false interpretation of her record!!).
Oh – and speaking of MI – I got a call today from the Clinton campaign (donations) right after I read that the MI Dems (like Levin) are REALLY pushing this 69-59 split for Clinton and Obama. That is to say, GIVING him HER delegates (that’s ONE way to win, I suppose!). I told the woman on the phone abt it (and I had seen this before, but it seems they are really pushing it NOW), and she said there was no way Clinton would go for that. I hope that’s true – it is just reprehensible the way they are not even TRYING to cover up their voter fraud!! I mean, really – TAKING her delegates and giving them to him??? Seriously??? Sheesh!
Thanks for your great work, Uppity!
Rev Amy, shame on you! Those delegates are Barky’s Affirmative Action points! Be fair!
Unity! I do NOT have your email address and I can’t leave a comment on your blog. Helllllllllllp!
ROTFLMAO – yeah, I know – apparently, like Dubya, Obama does not have to EARN his votes – he will just take (or be given) his opponents. What’s wrong with THAT? It is the NEW American way!! Sheesh…
You made my day with this post.
Thank you
OK, I’m not a Democrat.
What has confused me in all this Democrat party arguing over the super-delegates is the rejection of the raison d’etre of the super-delegates.
These representatives of the political wisdom of the Democrat party were created to override the gleeful insensibilities of the quick, early, and clustered primaries. Over turning the primaries is what they are FOR!
Obama’s campaign’s argument regarding the super-delegates is: “You’re not pretty if you’re real. Make nice and make pretty.” How vacuous is that?
What an embarrassment to the female gender this woman is! Think I’ll donate to Hillary again!
I hear that IHOP is looking for waitresses if flavia is interested!
